The Forfeiture
"[...] (Exit Isabelle and Geronte) VALERE: I am in despair. This parting kills me. (Enter Frontin dressed as a cavalier, passing before Valere who is in despair) FRONTIN: Sir. VALERE: What is it then? FRONTIN: It's Fortune greeting you. VALERE: What do I see? FRONTIN: You see Frontin who was wearing livery this morning. VALERE: What are you talking about? Why are you dressed this way? FRONTIN: You will never guess, I bet. VALERE: Whose clothes are you wearing? It's one of mine, I believe. FRONTIN: Could well be, cause it's none of mine. VALERE: And my wig. FRONTIN: Good. Have I bought it. I found this under my hand, quite ready. And your most handsome lace, and largest jewel. VALERE: I've seen you do crazy things before, but nothing touching such insolence. FRONTIN: It's come right on time, sir, this opulence. VALERE: Scoundrel, you've picked a bad time to joke. FRONTIN: I picked my time just right, I dare to boast. To know how to manage times for a master.[...]."

Four French comedies by Jean-Francois Regnard (with Charles Dufresny), who's considered to be the best comic playwright of his age after Moliere.

THE RIDICULOUS MERCHANT is another comedic romp. These bubbly, even obscene farces still hold up well today, with all of the characters and their situations eminently recognizable to modern audiences. Great dramatic fun "

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
